Fruit Salad Making Tips
One of the most delicious desserts is actually the fruit bowl or the so called fruit salad. It is very much similar to the fruit platter, except for the fact that the fruit salad has a dressing, while a platter of fruits are just an assortment of cut fruits arranged on a plate. All over the world, the fruit salad can be considered as a favorite dessert, not only because of the sweet taste it provides, but also because of the many health benefits one gets from eating it.
The fruit bowl is not merely a dessert, but may also be eaten as an appetizer. The fruits may either be covered in a sweet syrup or may be lathered with the own juices of the fruits. Not all restaurants have a fruit salad, fruit platter, etc. as desserts, so if you are craving for fruits, the best way is t learn how to make a fruit salad yourself.
Making a fruit salad is not really difficult. You just have to make sure that you have all the necessary ingredients prepared. If you have fruit trees planted in your backyard, it will be truly easy for you to make the salad. You may also check out the nearest grocery store for fruits that may be hard to find in the backyard.
Most fruit salads have the following fruits as ingredients: grapes, apples, peaches, pineapples, and the likes. Berries such as strawberries and blueberries may also be added. Some people also utilize chopped mint and a little amount of sour cream, and of course, a little bit of honey for sweetness. More often than not, two cups filled with assorted fresh fruits are enough to make a fruit salad that can serve 3-4 people. Be reminded that all you have to do once you have the ingredients is to mix them well, and voila, you’ll have your very own fruit bowl.
Making the salad is actually similar to the way you prepare your fruit platter – the only difference is that you have to create a dressing for the salad. Dressings, of course, differ from one continent to another. In Europe, for instance, mayonnaise is used as the main ingredient for the dressing, while condensed milk is used as the main dressing ingredient for fruit salads in Asia. Those salads, no matter what kind of dressing, have one common taste: they are definitely meant to be sweet.
Both a fruit bowl and a fruit platter can promote healthy eating for as long as you make use of the right fruits and the right ingredients. It is best to select the fruits’ pureed syrup as one of your ingredients than to use canned syrup if being healthy is on the top of your list. Aside from berries, tangerines, cantaloupes, watermelons, and the likes are the recommended fruits to add into your fruit desserts for maximum health benefits as those fruits are richer in vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and have lower calorie content compared to other fruits.

How does one make a Watermelon bowl with fruit soaked alcohol
I'm going to a party next weekend and would like to make a watermelon bowl; filled with melon balls and fruit.
Does anyone know what type of alcohol to use to soak the fruit with? Do I pour it in the watermelon and then scoop it out the next day or do I make the melon balls and soak those? And what other types of fruit can I soak. I'm a novice and need some help.
You could either pour the alcohol into the melon or cut up the melon and soak the pieces. I've been to parties where people have used either vodka or rum. I'm not sure what other types of fruit would work. You could try strawberries, apples, oranges, or peaches, similar to what people use in sangria. But I don't know if they would soak up the alcohol that same way that the watermelon does.
Here's a recipe for filling the whole watermelon. It might give you some ideas. You might also want to try posting this in the food section. You might get more ideas there as well.
